Publisher's Synopsis
Have you ever thought about what the origin of Christmas is? We all know that it's the time of year when the world gets into a frenzy about getting the perfect gifts, cooking the tastiest meal, and throwing the best parties. But have you ever wondered when it all began? We're here to share the origins of Christmas with you! This is a little book that helps readers answer these questions and many more. Written for Christians around the world, the book shares the origins of many Western traditions and myths like the Christmas tree, mistletoe, and Santa Claus that have found their way into popular culture and often distract people from the very first Christmas. After explaining the American fascination with Santa Claus and the origins of traditional Christmas, the author explains the case for the date of the very first Christmas as well as answers the questions about the heavenly host and star of Bethlehem. In the end, he shares four Advent devotionals that will inspire you and your family to learn about the true story of the birth of Jesus. To challenge your understanding of the Christmas story, he provides a fun test that families and friends can use around the Christmas tree to test their knowledge of what is the most remarkable miracle in the history of humanity.
